About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create one day an ecological self sustainable hotel in La Rivera Maya

ABOUT ME

Is hard to can describe yourself in a few lines but let me try to tell you a little bit about me but you will get to know me way more me if we meet ;); ok so as you may see on my pictures i love to travel, what I love about it is to learn about new cultures and costumes and specially different ways of thinking. I consider myself as a very open person, extroverted, spontaneous, optimistic, i love to talk, laugh, have fun and enjoy every moment of life, i am very active and energetic guy maybe thats why i love to travel so much, so as long as i have the energy and money i will see as much of the world as I can and one day i will have with my own ecological hotel on the mayan riviera! which you will be all invited of course ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Que es lo que se pierde al cruzar una frontera? Cada momento parece partido en dos, melancolía por lo que queda atras y por otro lado todo el entusiasmo por entrar en tierras nuevas

Translation (more less): What do you loose when you cross a frontier? Every moment seems to be split in two, melancholy for all that you have left behind but all the enthusiasm for entering new lands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have always believe that people are good by nature
but the media just shows the bad part of it which is only a tiny percent and this scares people to travel and meet strangers but projects like Couch Surfing just makes you believe in human kind again and believe me you will never get disappointed. All you need is love right!

Mi couch es tu couch!! =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What started as a useful website, turned into a life style, not only is great to meet people and their culture while u travel, but u can also bring this kind of people into your own house!!, i have experience both hosting and surfing and i have met so many wonderful and interesting people, meeting this kind of people helps you to open your personal box (mind) and trust me u will never be the same again!

Like my Moma always says life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am sure you will be able to learn something from me as i am sure i will learn something from you ;)

I think that we can all learn from each other, we are all individual worlds just waiting to be discovered, listen to this:

Never refuse an invitation
Never resist the unfamiliar
Never fail to be polite
And never outstay your welcome

Just keep your mind open
and suck in the experience
and if it hurts you know what...
it's probably worth it!

You hope, and you dream but you never believe that something is going to happen for you not like it does in the movies and when it actually does you expect it to feel different more visceral more real...

i was waiting for it to hit me
i still believe in paradise but now at least i know it's not some place you can look for cause it's not where you go it's how you feel for a moment in your life and if you find that moment...

it will last forever!!
